Its just a day away until the 26th Olympiad will happen in the historical yet modern city of London in Great Britain. Though our country might have not yet have its Gold medal, we are very optimistic and supportive of the 11 athletes that represents the Philippines in the games. This is also the reason why we made the blog into an Olympic theme in support of our best athletes that would hopefully bring us pride and glory. 

Their number may be small compared to the previous games, analysts are positive that even with this number,  we have really sent quality players that will earn us medal/s and hopefully our first gold.

Of course, we also watch the Olympics because of the grandeur that each host nation would do to make each games unforgettable. The live airing of the opening and closing ceremonies as well of the coverage of the games will be covered by AKTIV (IBC13) and TV5.

Now let's get to meet our Pinoy Pride Athletes!

MALL-GOERS ENJOYED AN ALL-DAY BASH at the Converse Block Party.
